Rh–Co alloy nanoparticles supported on nitrogen-doped porous carbon (Rh–Co/NPC) were synthesized from metal precursors and urea through a simple thermal decomposition/reduction under a nitrogen flow. These nanoparticles have been developed and have gained considerable attention because of their multiple unique properties compared to those of single metal nanoparticles, such as high electronic and optical properties, selectivity, and stability.The Rh–Co/NPC nanocatalyst which contains highly dispersed alloy nanoparticles (∼6 nm) showed high catalytic performance as well as good recyclability for the C–Se coupling reaction of diphenyl diselenide and aryl boronic acid, which is very useful in the biochemistry field. Furthermore, the catalyst also showed high performance with good recyclability in catalytic <i>p</i>-nitrophenol hydrogenation.
